🥄 How to Make Sweet Potato Pie with Condensed Milk
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel, cube, and boil the sweet potatoes until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, condensed milk, eggs, spices, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing—this allows the filling to set properly.

🔥 Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Pie
💡 Roast for More Flavor – Instead of boiling, roast the sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes to enhance their natural sweetness.
💡 Don’t Overbake – The center should still have a slight jiggle when you remove it from the oven.
💡 Let It Chill – Refrigerating for a few hours before serving enhances the flavor and texture.
💡 Use a Store-Bought Crust for Convenience – But a homemade buttery crust adds an extra touch of deliciousness!
🥧 The Science Behind the Creamy Texture
- Sweetened condensed milk acts as both a sweetener and a thickener, making the pie creamy without needing extra sugar or heavy cream.
- Eggs provide structure—they set the filling while keeping it soft and custard-like.
- Butter adds richness and enhances the pie’s silky mouthfeel.
🍓 Variations & Flavor Twists
🔥 Maple Sweet Potato Pie – Swap vanilla for 1 tablespoon maple syrup for a cozy fall flavor.
🔥 Pecan Topping – Add a crunchy pecan streusel topping for extra texture.
🔥 Bourbon-Spiced Version – Mix in 1 tablespoon of bourbon for a deep, smoky sweetness.
❄️ Storage & Freezing
- Refrigeration: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
